About Leanne

Leanne Banks helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes. She works in a client-centred way and draws on attachment, existential, Jungian and mindfulness ideas to guide sessions. Leanne is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She has three years of professional experience.

Leanne uses a plain, conversational approach in sessions. She encourages people to talk through what is worrying them and to notice how past and present relationships shape feelings and choices. Sessions focus on understanding patterns in thinking and relating, and on finding practical ways to manage distress in day-to-day life.

Her work often explores attachment and how early relationships influence trust, closeness and conflict. Leanne also draws on mindfulness practices to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and to steady their attention in stressful moments. Jungian and existential ideas are used to consider meaning, values and identity when life feels uncertain or stuck.

Leanne aims to help people clarify what matters to them, and to consider small changes that reduce overwhelm. She pays attention to communication and to repeated relationship patterns, including issues such as abandonment, commitment and blended family dynamics. Practical coping skills for anxiety and stress are included when useful.

She offers counselling in English from the United Kingdom. Before booking, clients should use the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session using the scheduling tool. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Leanne’s approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at patterns of closeness and avoidance in relationships and what those patterns mean for current stress and communication. This can help when relationship conflict, abandonment concerns or blended family issues are causing distress.

Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client, helping them to make sense of feelings and choices in their life. Mindfulness-based ideas offer simple attention and grounding practices to manage anxiety and overwhelming emotions during difficult moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to identify which methods feel most helpful based on the client’s goals and preferences, and may draw on more than one approach as needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to continue work while managing family or work commitments.
